THE final list of names to adorn two new dedicated walls in Pontypridd’s Ynysangharad War Memorial Park has now been completed.

The final version of the Roll of Honour, which lists those from Pontypridd who served and died in both world wars and subsequent conflicts, is available at www.rctcbc.gov.uk/pwmappeal

The list includes a total of 1,319 names, which is made up of 881 who lost their lives in World War I, 491 names from World War II, one victim from each of the conflicts in Palestine, Korea and Suez and four men who were killed in the Falklands.

Rhondda Cynon Taf Council has been working closely with Pontypridd Town Council and the Royal British Legion for almost a year. Its level of involvement has been primarily due to its role as trustees of the park and it’s hoped the project will strengthen the park’s role and status as a war memorial park.

Ynysangharad War Memorial Park was opened in 1923 in memory of the war dead, but, until now, no memorial existed naming all those brave heroes from Pontypridd who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom of future generations.
